It is now thought the coming National
Guard encampment will be held in the
vicinity of Stockton.
SpreckeIs Bros. have telegraphed to Lon
don, Offering free passage from New York

the Canadian Pacific.
1t having been stated that J. c. Flood
was about TO retire from business, re-
porter interviewed him, and he said "You
may say that / have no present intention
of retiring from business. | expect to re-
main in business until l die"

the point of death at his residence tor sew
eral DAYS past, is now considered out of

Rumors are again current regarding the
South Pacific Coast transfer and prophe-
cies are frequently made that the business
relations between the parties to the transac-

"nIPosTEDr CIGARS.
Domestic "Alfalfas" Palmed off as the
True Foreign Stuff.

WASHINGTON, May 5th.-Assistant Score
;ary Maynard has instructed the customs
officers to see that domestic cigars exported
for the purpose of being reimported are
not admitted to entry under the provisions
os Section $500, but to require them to be
turned over to the Collectors of Internal
Revenue for such procedure IS may be
found expedient under the internal reve-
nue. laws. This action is based upon in
formation that a system exists of sending
cigars manufactured in San Francisco to
British Columbia and then returning them
to San Francisco, under the provisions of
Section $500 of the Revised Statutes.
They are then stamped with custom stamps
bearing the words Domestic Clsars-Re-
imported good market for these cigars
is found in st. Louis. where they are
usually sold as imported cigars. Purchas-
ers see the import stamps, but fail to notice
the inscription thereon.

Analyses of the air in the schools, halls
and churches OF Edinburgh are being made
by the health authorities. Tests are APP
piled to show not only the proportion of
carbonic acid gas, but also the percentage

ropean cities have made such analyses.

"What singular request" said
Mrs. Ferguson. "But please let
him do It If you don't mind, Mr..
johnson. He's got some funny
idea in his head and we shall see
what itis."
We did. After rubbing the dla-
mond several times with his fore
finger incidentally coloring my
immaculate shirt front with cur
rant jelly,) he said wonderingly:
"Why, it amt sticky at ALL"
"No, Freddie, Of couse not" said
Ferguson smilingly.
"Why should it be sticky? Dia-
monds are not sticky"
"No, I s'pose not" said Freddie,
"but I heard mar say that 1t wasn't
a di'mun at all but only paste, an 1
knew that paste"
But at this point Freddie was
hustled out of the room by his
father and in q few moments my
heart was gladdened by the sound
Of dismal yells in the distance.
I saw no more of Freddie that
evening. I do not intend to dine
at Ferguson's again at present.

Live Above Them.

Pay no attention to slanderers or
gossip-mongers. Keep straight on
in your course, and let their back
biting die the death of neglect.
What is the use of lying awake
nights brooking over the remark of
some false friend, that runs through
your brain like forked lightning +?
What is the use of getting into a
worry and fret over gossip that has
been set afioat to your disadvantage
by some meddlesome busybody,
who has more time than charac-
ter. These things can't possibly
injure you, unless, indeed, you take
notice of them; and in combating
them give them character and
standing. If what is said about
you is true, set yourself right at
once; if it is false, let it go for what
it will fetch. If a bee stings you,
would you go to the hive and destroy
it? Would not thousand come
upon you? 1t is wisdom to say lit
tie respecting the injuries you have
leceived. We are generally losers
in the end if we stop to refute all
the backbitings and gossipings we
may hear by the way. They are
annoying, it is true but not danger
GUS so long as we do stop to expos
tulate and scOld. Our characters
are formed and sustained by our
own actions and not by others. Let
us always bear in mind that Zeal
umniators may usually be trusted
to time and the slow but steady JUS
tice of public opinion"
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-05-07

The lady, however was listening,
and coming forward asked the man
If he was sure her husband was
not hurt.
"Not bit, ma'am."
The story was plausible, for her
husband being coal merchant,
had business OH the barges. She
went upstairs, brought down dry
clothes, and gave them to the man.
"Don't you think ma'am," he
said, looking her straight IN the
face, "they would look better If
you tied them up in silk hanker-
chief?"
She did so, and fetched him a
nice one. When her husband
came home Mrs. Wagstaff discov-
cred that she had been duped by
a smart London thief.
The Lord Mayor, few years ago
was trying case at the Mansion
House. Not satisfied with the
testimony of a witness, he caution
ed him to be careful saying: "You
must be careful in your statements
for 1 could have sworn that when
1 arose this morning I had put my
watch into my pocket, and 1 had
only just missed it, and now recol-
lect that left it on my dressing
table," On his return home the
lady mayoress asked what had
caused him to send so many mes
sengers in such quick succession
for his watch and chain, as but one
could take it to him. His lordship
then saw his indiscretion. Several
professional thieves had started
Immediately for that watch and
the first one had obtained it.
